KIXL (970 AM) is a Catholic talk radio station in Del Valle, Texas, United States, broadcasting to the Austin-Round Rock area.
Southwest Republic simultaneously acquired KHFI-FM 98.1 from its owners and held the construction permit for a new Austin television station, KHFI-TV channel 42.
[7] Southwest Republic, owned by John Kingsbery, merged alongside concrete producer Featherlite Corporation into Kingstip, Inc., in 1971.
[12] The 1980s also saw KIXL become a station able to broadcast at night as well, which brought with it a change in city of license from Austin to Del Valle.
[20] In 1995, Intimate Life Ministries, an organization which helped churches offer marriage counseling services, entered into a deal to buy KIXL from Oppenheimer.
[21] The $1.4 million purchase was made through a commercial company;[22] at the end of 1997, the principals then filed to transfer the license to Intimate Life itself.
